This month we…

We paid our respects at the remembrance day service in Victoria Park as well as at the Clarendon Park Congregational Church service hosted by Reverend Davies. 

We took to Victoria Park and St Mary's triangle in order to conduct knife sweeps throughout the area in relation to Op Sceptre, further initiatives in support of Op Sceptre have also been conducted such as proactive intelligence based patrols on our hotspots throughout the South Leicester Policing area as well as crime prevention issued to local businesses to educate the staff and the public on how to prevent Knife related offences in our community's .

We attended the community meeting for Springfield Road to discuss previous and ongoing issues in our community and what we at the beat team are doing in response.
